• In this tradition a story is 'holy,' and it is used as medicine," she told Radiance magazine. "The story is not told to lift you up, to make you feel better, or to entertain you, although all those things can be true. The story is meant to take the spirit into a descent to find something that is lost or missing and to bring it back to consciousness again.

• I meet a lot of characters in the
  islands, people who're running -- who're
  happier on a fishing boat than they
  are back home.When I first got
  down there,I don't know if I was
  running from a real bad heartbreak
  or running to something I thought
  would make me feel better.But
  since I've been spending time in
  the Caribbean, I've come to realize
  that I've got nothing to run from.

• When your goal is to build people up, to make them feel better, to share in their joy, you too reap the rewards of their positive feelings. The next time you have the chance to correct someone, even if their facts are a little off, resist the temptation. Instead, ask yourself, "What do I really want out of this interaction?" Chances are, what you want is a peaceful interaction where all parties leave feeling good. Each time you resist 'being right,' and instead choose kindness, you'll notice a peaceful feeling within.

And let's not go down and nail lifts onto the natives' feet.
